Question

Ms. Albero decided to make juice to serve along with the pizza at the Student Government party. The directions said to mix 2 scoops of powdered drink mix with a half a gallon of water to make each pitcher of juice. One of Ms. Albero’s students said she will mix 8 scoops with 2 gallons of water to get 4 pitchers. How can you use the concept of proportion to decide whether the student is correct?

2 scoops per pitcher,

Explanation:

2 (per pitcher) * 4(pitchers) = 8

2 scoops makes 1 pitcher and she's using 8 scoops so that would give us 4 pitchers.
